Hi stable team - please don't take patches for fs/bcachefs/ except from myself; I'll be doing backports and sending pull requests after stuff has been tested by my CI.
Now done: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/comm...
We will ignore it for any "Fixes:" tags, or AUTOSEL, but if you explicitly add a "cc: stable@" in the signed-off-by area, we will pick that up.
Would it work for your process to ignore cc: stable@ as well?
Nope! That's explicit, you add it for when you want us to pick up a change when it hits Linus's tree. If you don't want that to happen, then don't add it.
I want a tag that I can have tooling grep for later that means "this patch should be backported later, after seeing sufficient testing", and cc: stable@ has that meaning in current usage.
Just use a "Fixes:" tag then, that's what networking did for years before they gave up and now use cc: stable.
